PC – Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate (PC) is a high-performance amorphous thermoplastic known for its exceptional impact resistance, high transparency, and good heat resistance. Due to its combination of mechanical strength and optical properties, it is widely used in the automotive industry, electrical engineering, healthcare, and safety applications.
Advantages
- Exceptional impact resistance
- High transparency (up to 90%)
- Good heat resistance
- Excellent dimensional stability
- Good electrical insulation
- Low flammability (for FR variants)
- Suitable for metallization and printing
- Good weather resistance (UV stabilized variants)
Disadvantages
- Higher cost
- Poorer chemical resistance to some solvents
- Susceptibility to scratching
- Requires drying before processing
